THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



paid a very large salary. No doubt 

 it might have been better to have re- 

 tained him at a much larger salary. 

 It is not strange, however, that the 

 farmers chafed under a proposition to 

 increase the recompense largely. It 

 has seemed strange to me that men 

 cannot be broad enough to see that 

 there is glory in such service far be- 

 yond the value of money. I should 

 suppose that Mr. Dennis Kearney, and 

 the fine business men that have help- 

 ed to bring the Southern California 

 Fruit Exchange to such tremendous 

 proportions and to such gratifying 

 success, Avould take such pride in their 

 achievement that they would be more 

 than content, and would be the last to 

 jeopardize the further success by any 

 proposition of higher remuneration. I 

 can but believe that men will be raised 

 up who will not only be able to push 

 this work to Its highest accomplish- 

 nent, but will also be moi-e than will- 

 ing to accept salaries that Avill be tol- 

 erated, without irritation, at least, by 

 our most wise and progressive farm- 

 ers. 



With this as an introduction I will 

 leave the subect for a time, when 1 

 will outline what seems to me, in view 

 of the experience already enjoyed in 

 Southern California, may be adopted 

 in the marketing of our honey pro- 

 duct. I have a hope— not over san- 

 guine I must say — that with our excel- 

 lent bee-papers and wide-awake, in- 

 telligent bee-keepers, we may com- 

 mence a Avork of education that will 

 soon bring us a honey exchange in 

 California if not in the AAiiolo country, 

 which will rival in interest and value 

 that of the Southern California Fruit 

 Exchange. There is every reason to 

 believe that Arizona, Utah. Colorado. 

 and very likely several other States, 

 will quickly fall into line even if they 

 do not lead California in this new en- 

 terprise. 



TRAIN TOOK ITS OWN PHOTOGRAPH. 



A large, handsome engraving, i8 x 28 

 inches, has been made of "The Burling- 

 ton's Number One" while going at 60 

 miles an hour between Chicago and Den- 

 ver. It is the best picture of a train in 

 motion ever taken, and "the train took 

 the picture itself." This is explained in 

 a folder which will be sent free on ap- 

 plication. Price of large engraving, 20 

 cents. Postage stamps will do. Address 

 P. S. Eustis, General Passenger Agent, 

 C, B. & Q. Ry., 209 Adams Street, 

 Chicago. 



Winter in California. 



Sunshine and summer, fruit and flow- 

 ers all winter long in California. The 

 quick way to get there is via Chicago, 

 Milwaukee & St. Paul and Union Pacific 

 line. Three through trains, Chicago to 

 San Francisco, every day.

GOOD MAN WANTED. 



I would like to secure the services of a young, 

 married man, one who has had some experience 

 with bees. I wish him to come and live on my 

 place and take a partnership interest in my busi- 

 ness. I have a good farm with good binldings, 

 and 200 colonies of bees, and I wish to establish 

 out-apiaries if I can get a good partner in the 

 bu.siness. No cipit^l will be required and it will 

 be a good chance for the right kind of a man.
